The evangelist, who suffered extensive injuries, died one day after being released from the hospital. He leaves behind a wife and 6-month-old child. The Christian couple was attacked a few days after his death.

Father God, I ask that You convict the hearts of all those who desire to abuse Your people. Convict them of their cowardly and wicked deeds so they will repent. Please heal the hearts, minds, and bodies of those who were beaten for Jesus and comfort those who are grieving, knowing that You have prepared a place for those who love Him.
